Sean Considine's Super Bowl Diary: Meeting the hat police
EDITOR'S NOTE: Sean Considine is providing a daily diary from New Orleans leading up to Sunday's Super Bowl. This is his Wednesday installment.
Just finished up practice No. 2 and I have to squeeze my entry in on our bus ride back to the hotel. All my family arrived safe and sound in New Orleans and I can't wait to see everyone. The Ravens have a welcome party planned for all family members tonight. Should be a good time.
I told you yesterday that our field at Tulane wasn't the best situation. Well, Coach Harbaugh pulled some strings and got us on the Saints practice field after San Fran was done using it. I joked with Coach that he must really trust his brother. He said they had our security guys everywhere and did a thorough sweep of the place just to make sure no cameras or people were there while we practiced.
I don't think the NFL was really happy about us pulling the plug on the Tulane baseball field, but a change needed to take place. Just from practicing on it one time, I woke up this morning feeling real sore. Whatever we have to do to feel great on Sunday afternoon is clearly our top priority.
We had a good practice. On Thursday we always install our third-down and red-zone packages. On special teams, we installed our kick-return and punt-return packages. So as of tonight everything we plan on doing is in the books. Tomorrow we call the practice a fast Friday; it's shorter but up-tempo as we rehearse everything full speed one last time.
We have to meet with the media every day from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. About halfway through today's session, a guy from the NFL came up and said I had to remove my hat. I had on our AFC championship hat; forgot it wasn't the official Super Bowl hat they gave us. If I get fined for my hat, I am not gonna be happy.
My brother is all of a sudden my public relations guy. Ryan and my cousin listen to The Score all the time, so somehow he contacted them and set up an interview with Boers and Bernstein for tomorrow. I guess my brother doesn't think I have received enough media attention this week. Gotta love little brothers.

State House News Service
BOSTON — Emergency-call handling, public-health services and public-pension plan administration are three areas of government in Massachusetts that are "prime for consolidation," according to research released Thursday by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston's New England Public Policy Center.
Aggressive consolidation could collectively save cities and towns between 25 percent and 60 percent in operating costs for those three service areas, researchers found.
"Not all local public services are strong candidates for regionalization, though capital, technology and expertise-intensive services often benefit from consolidation," Yolanda Kodrzycki, director of the public policy center and author of the research, said in a statement. "In these areas, greater regional consolidation can reduce local governments' costs without compromising service quality."
While municipal and county borders over the years have worked against regionalization efforts, Federal Reserve officials said their research was prompted by a desire to help local government officials deal with strains on finances. The report calls for more incentives to encourage service consolidation on a larger scale.

Last week we lost one of America's great geniuses of innovation, Apple's founder and CEO, Steve Jobs.
I can remember each time I first used one of Apple's products. While working for IBM as a systems engineer right out of college and working with both mainframe systems and some not-always-so-friendly early PC operating systems (remember DOS?), I got to use a friend's Macintosh and was blown away by how easy it was to use. Fast forward through the introduction of the iPod; iTunes online music and apps store; the iPhone—the first touchscreen smartphone; and now the iPad, first touchscreen tablet; and we now have a world that couldn't conceive of life without Steve Jobs' innovations.
One of Jobs' secret to success was treating Apple as an idea and business incubator to continually research and fund what could possibly be the "next great thing" in the future, but was still only a germ of an idea from some engineer or scientist.
The Federal Government as an Incubator of Innovation
Like Apple, one of the key roles of the US Federal Government is to serve as an incubator of innovation.
Here at GPO, for example, we are embracing innovation by producing eBooks, digital downloads, information portals and databases in response to the changing needs of our increasingly digital society, which have been driven in part by Apple inventions introduced by Steve Jobs.
Most of the work products from the Federal Government can be and are used freely by private industry or other areas of Government to spur their own innovations. From statistics to research, processes to products, the Government has provided the seeds to innovation for American industry throughout the years.
Looking through our recent catalog on the US Government Bookstore website, I came across these publications which provide examples of innovation both within the Federal Government and in partnership with the private sector:
About the Author: I am Michele Bartram, Promotions Manager for GPO's Publication and Information Sales Division. My duties include marketing for the US Government Online Bookstore (Bookstore.gpo.gov) and promoting Federal government content to the public. Due to the retirement of Jim Cameron, my duties now also include taking the helm as Blogger for Government Book Talk. I have been in the Internet marketing and ecommerce field for over 15 years.
We at GPO wish Jim all the best in his retirement, and will continue to do our best to spotlight the amazing variety of Government publications and their impact on ourselves and our world – and have fun while doing it.

Shoulder: SLAP Lesion and Cortisone
I have a SLAP lesion [a cartilage tear on the rim of the shoulder socket] having injured my shoulder seven months ago. My D.O. gave me a cortisone shot yesterday and I actually feel worse.
I have a SLAP lesion [a cartilage tear on the rim of the shoulder socket] having injured my shoulder seven months ago. My D.O. gave me a cortisone shot yesterday and I actually feel worse. I have started P.T. I don't want to have surgery, but not climbing is bringing me down. All of my therapy is geared to the supraspinatus.
I like the cut of your jib, sailor; that's a fine plan.
I'm not sure why the P.T. is concentrating on your supraspinatus muscle, given that you have not mentioned a tear in it (which would have shown up in the MRI). Certainly, exercises that target the four muscles that constitute the rotator cuff (supraspinatus being but one) and shoulder control in general are worthy.
If the supraspinatus is in pain, then it is surely secondary to another issue. Concentrating on it is like cleaning your windshield while driving through a mudslide. Given the reverence with which the supraspinatus is treated in modern rehab, anyone would think it were the global CEO of shoulder motor control, when in fact it's just middle management.
There are four basic types (and some sub-genres) of SLAP lesions. Most are simply fraying of the cartilage edge (Type 1) and the vast majority will settle. Still, it is difficult to know what the correlations are between the extent of damage and the need for surgery, since even MRIs are unable to reliably reveal the extent of damage to the glenoid labrum. The upshot is that we don't really know how many of the more serious tears actually settle without surgery.
The best indicators for surgery are ongoing pain and/or a sense of locking in the joint. Pain that takes several months to settle is quite normal. Seven months is a long time and if it has not settled in the next few I would certainly consider surgery.
Strengthening the shoulder now will double as "prehab" if you end up needing an operation, so your time is far from wasted. If you have any sense of locking in the joint, like something is getting stuck and you have to reverse the movement to free it up, talk to your surgeon. The damage is likely to be extensive and surgery is really your best option.

How long do 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads last?
2012 Toyota Venza brake pads usually last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles depending on your driving habits. If you commute in heavy traffic and use your brakes regularly, you'll need to get an check more consistently. We advocate you reference your 2012 Toyota Venza owner's manual for suggested maintenance interval details.
How much do 2012 Toyota Venza Brake Pads Cost? 2012 Toyota Venza Brake Pad Prices
How much 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads cost depends considerably on how many brake pads you need to order and whether or not you want to replace the brake pads yourself or have one of our mechanics handle your brake pad replacement. Generally brake pads are sold in sets of two as wear and tear on your 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads is normally the same on both the left and right sides of the vehicle. A set of luxury vehicle brake pads can cost somewhere between $150 and $250 while most other brake pads are between $75 and $120. Again, this varies widely by brand and does not include installation. There are other services to keep an eye on such as your rotors which likewise may need to be replaced if your 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads are massively worn down.
2012 Toyota Venza Rear Brake Pads Price
Front and rear brake pads on your 2012 Toyota Venza will cost the same assuming you purchase them on the same date. Parts availability is the primary variable in price for brake pads although labor costs can change depending on other factors in your area. Labor costs ordinarily won't be too volatile. If you're looking to replace your brake pads yourself, parts ordinarily range from $50 - $100 per brake pad. You can order your 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads online or give us a call during business hours to get pricing and availability.
How much does it cost to get 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads changed?
2012 Toyota Venza brake pads replacement, which includes components and labor, can cost somewhere between $150 and $300 per axle depending on the type of brake pads required and the extent of the damage your earlier worn down pads have caused to the other components of your car such as the rotors. At Courtesy Toyota we have monthly brake pad replacement specials designed to save you cash as well as brake pad components specials if you want to replace them yourself. Schedule your brake service with Courtesy Toyota or call us at 8132854632.
2012 Toyota Venza Rear Brake Pad Replacement
Keep in mind damage on all brake parts depends massively on your driving habits. Similarly with front brake pads, your 2012 Toyota Venza rear brake pads will usually wear down at the same rate on both the left and right side of your car. Unlike front brake pads, most rear brake pads wear down faster due to the brake mechanics of rear wheel drive cars. You'll want to get your brakes examined during each visit to your mechanic, but you should likewise check your 2012 Toyota Venza maintenance schedule for details on when inspections and rear brake pad replacement is recommended.
2012 Toyota Venza Front Brake Pad Replacement
Just like rear brake pads, your 2012 Toyota Venza front brake pads will normally degrade at the same rate on both the right and left side of your vehicle. Unlike rear brake pads, most front brake pads wear down more gradually due to the nature of rear-wheel drive cars. You should have your brakes checked out each time you take your 2012 Toyota Venza in for service. Courtesy Toyota of Brandon offers free multipoint inspections during each visit, but you need to refer to your 2012 Toyota Venza maintenance guide in your owner's manual for more facts regarding recommended front brake replacement and inspections. Remember that wear and tear on 2012 Toyota Venza including the front brake pads, varies exceedingly depending on your driving habits.
What are the best brake pads for 2012 Toyota Venza?
Genuine parts help provide maximum safety and security, compared to other expensive aftermarket parts that were designed to fit different types of vehicles. Genuine Toyota brake pads are designed specifically for your 2012 Toyota Venza and are built on the highest standards just like the original brake pads that were installed on your car when leaving the factory. It's vital to use Toyota original manufactured parts on your vehicle. Call Courtesy Toyota of Brandon today to learn more or schedule service online.
How do you know if you need new brake pads?
Common issues that will arise when your 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads need to be replaced include squealing, screeching, grinding or squeaking when brakes are applied. You may again notice vibrations or pulsation in the pedal or steering wheel. In some cases, you will be able to smell a burning fragrance which is a result of the metal contacting the surface as your pads become bare.As consistently, you should confer your vehicle's owner's manual for more details on service intervals, recommendations, and other safety concerns. You can call Courtesy Toyota of Brandon at 8132854632 for advice as well or schedule service online. If you experience any of these warning signs you should take your 2012 Toyota Venza in for an check swiftly.
How do I know if my 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads are worn out?
Some common warning signs of bad brake pads are:
- Squealing or screeching when braking
- 2012 Toyota Venza pulling to one side while braking
- There are several other warning signs for bad brake pads. You can read your vehicle's owner's manual for more details.
- Burning odor
- Pulsation or vibrating in the steering wheel or brake pedal
- Some vehicles have brake warning lights that will turn on to notify you of a potential issue
- Grinding noise when the brakes are applied
2012 Toyota Venza Front Brake Pads Price
Typically the cost for components will range from $100-$200 per axle and labor can cost anywhere between $80 - $100. Since your 2012 Toyota Venza brake pads wear down at the same rate per axle, it is common to have your front or rear brake pads replaced at the same time. Confer with your service advisor as prices can change quite regularly depending on components availability. Most Toyota franchise service centers will run brake specials each month and can save you a ton of cash on front brake pad installation.
Can I put new brake pads on old rotors?

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is currently undergoing upgrades that will allow it to finally reach its intended top energy of 14TeV. When it comes back online, researchers will use it to probe the properties of the Higgs boson it discovered and to continue the search for particles beyond those described by the Standard Model. But no matter how many Higgs particles pop out of the machine, there's a limit to how much we can discover there.
That's because the hadrons it uses create messy collisions that are hard to characterize. The solution to this is to switch to leptons, a class of particles that includes the familiar electron. Leptons present their own challenges but allow for clean collisions at precise energies, allowing the machine to produce little beyond the intended particles. So now, the international physics community is putting agreements in place that will see a new lepton collider start construction before the decade is out, most likely in Japan.
Hadrons vs. leptons
Hadrons like the proton are composed of a mixture of quarks, gluons, and virtual particles. Their heavy mass makes them easy to accelerate. When fast-moving particles move around curves, some of their energy is lost as radiation; the proportion of lost energy goes down as the particle's mass goes up. So when lightweight electrons were sent through the curved tunnels that now house the LHC, the maximum energy they could reach was just over 100GeV. In contrast, protons can go through those same curves at 7TeV, meaning the collisions have significantly more energy.
The problem with hadrons comes from the fact that they're made up of a bunch of individual particles, and there's no way of controlling how the particles are oriented when the collision takes place. Even when two protons smash head-on, the quarks inside them may end up colliding off-center. As a result, only a small fraction of the total energy ends up being available to create new particles. Since there's no way of predicting how much, reconstructing what happened during a collision gets rather complicated, especially since each collision is really multiple smaller collisions. Imagine trying to reconstruct what happened when two trucks used to ship cars collide when you don't know which cars started on what truck.
Leptons, in contrast, are fundamental particles; there's nothing inside them, so when they collide, all the energy gets put into a single, simple collision. This means you can see things like the Higgs without accelerating the electrons to anywhere near the energies used at the LHC. It's also relatively easy to collide electrons with their antimatter cousins, the positrons, which eliminates the particles themselves in the process. The end result is a very clean collision and, if it's at the appropriate energy (say, near the mass of a heavy particle), a strong likelihood of producing the particle you're interested in.
Since leptons don't like running in circles, the solution is to build a linear collider. If everything moves in a straight line, it's possible to get electrons up to high energies and keep them there. The problem is that a straight line means long tunnels and infrastructure spread along them. All of which means a large expense.
ILC vs. CLiC
Even while the LHC was still being built, scientists started planning for a next-generation linear collider under the assumption that the LHC would spot the Higgs and physicists would want to study its properties in detail. Two competing camps were formed, one focused at Fermilab, the other at CERN.
The CERN group called its effort the Compact Linear Collider, or CLiC. To keep costs under control, CLiC would accelerate leptons within a shorter distance by transferring energy from one beam of electrons to the beams of electrons and positrons used for collisions. The result is a shorter (or, as the name implies, more compact) collider. The downside is that the technology remains unproven, so we don't know whether it would actually work in practice.
That dilemma left the focus on the International Linear Collider, which uses extensions of existing technology on a larger scale—a much larger scale. The initial plan for the ILC calls for the hardware to be housed in a tunnel 30km long; to increase the energy later, another 20km may be added. Initial plans were to build it at Fermilab, although the size meant that the tunnel would extend out under some of the neighboring towns. But the US Congress cut the funding for it a few years back, leaving the project in a bit of a limbo. Two factors have changed that: the actual discovery of the Higgs, which gives the collider its purpose, and the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, which freed up money from the Japanese government as part of the country's recovery efforts.
(It's worth noting that Japan hasn't been designated the official site yet, but that is an offer that will be hard to refuse. Also worth noting is that the ILC and CLiC teams are partly competitors and partly collaborators.)
Last week, the ILC team published its technical design report, which lays out how the accelerator will function and what it might explore.
The design calls for two storage rings, one each for the electrons and positrons. Electrons are relatively easy to come by, but the positrons will be made on-site. Basically, the electron beam will be sent on a curved path and lose energy via the production of high-energy photons. These photons will be converted to electron/positron pairs; the electrons will be discarded, and the positrons will be sent into the storage ring. From the ring, the electrons and positrons will be sent 15km in opposite directions, sent around a curve and then fed into two linear accelerators that are 11km long each and pointed roughly at each other.
If future higher-energy extensions go forward, they would basically involve extending the tunnels and shifting the point where the electrons go around a bend further out. More accelerator hardware would be attached to the backend of the existing linear accelerator, lengthening it so that the electrons spend more time being accelerated and come out at a higher energy.
There's a single beam-collision point at the center of the complex, which means only a single detector can take data from collisions. To provide the reassurance of reproducibility, there will be two detectors on rails, allowing one to be slid out and a second to be slid in to replace it. If there's enough shielding, it should be possible to perform maintenance on one while the second is operating.
Since the amount of acceleration can be tuned, the initial range of the accelerator runs from about 200GeV to 500GeV, enough to explore the production of the Higgs with a Z boson and see how the two interact (given that the Z is a relatively massive particle, the answer is expected to be "extensively"). At the high end, a pair of Higgs particles can be produced with a Z, allowing us to determine how the particle interacts with itself. Combinations of the Higgs and two top quarks are also possible (the top is the most massive particle we know about).
Extending the energy up to 1TeV would get us more elaborate combinations, but it's hard to see that much money being spent unless the LHC produces some evidence for supersymmetry, additional Higgs particles, or dark matter particles (or some combination of the above).
The LHC has plenty of time to get there, as a final site for the ILC hasn't even been chosen yet. It will take a few years to finalize the design specs and then roughly a decade to construct it, so operation probably won't start until the late 2020s. By that time, the LHC will probably have gone through a second round of upgrades and should have thoroughly explored all the particles accessible to the energies it can reach.

If you ask the graduate, the last thing they want is another book. After years of studying and taking tests, many graduates associate books with stress. But after the dust settles on the cap and gown and the tassel swings happily from the rear view mirror, the grad will appreciate having these books on the shelf when they look around for guidance and inspiration. Every graduate wants money, work, and fun while they follow their chosen path of endeavor. Here are three titles that would make great gifts for the new graduate.
The Prosperous Heart by Julia Cameron is her latest book meant to emphasize and streamline our relationships with money. We learn our money matters from the modeling we witness in family settings as we grow up. How our parents and siblings handled money has a great impact on the decisions we make about making, spending, and saving money as adults. It isn't as simple as seeing a parent save money and then we in turn save money the same way. A lot of the time we act in reverse of what we experienced with money and family. Cameron's book details a twelve step process to help anyone grow a new relationship with money. Simple practices such as writing down every single penny spent every single waking day for the duration of the twelve weeks demands discipline and the willingness to look back on what we spend our money on. It's a step that indelibly engraves on one's psyche the words, "Do I want this, or do I need this?" Knowing the answer can save a lot of money.
The Mindful Writer, Noble Truths of the Writing Life by Dinty W. Moore is a concise and wonderfully compact book that anybody can appreciate. Writers are everybody and everywhere. If the graduate is going into any professional setting for work they will eventually be asked to write something; a report, an email, a letter. This little book is inspiring and handy. It's great for writers who will love the many quotes from other writers. Moore's comments on each quote are centered around the sense that his study of Buddhism has influenced his writing more than his writing has influenced his study of Buddhism. The Noble Truths are a twist on Buddha's principles aimed at the writing crowd. But who wouldn't be better off taking the sound advice to avoid disappointment by grasping and being satisfied with what we have rather than what we don't have? "Do I want this, or do I need this?" Knowing the answer can save a lot of stress.
Writer Wellness, A Writer's Path to Health and Creativity by yours truly has the disadvantage sometimes of having a title by my own design that makes the book appear limited in application. There is much in the book that anybody can enjoy and use to add creativity to life and work. Ideas about journaling, fitness, relaxation, nutrition, and creative play are good for the soul.
Of course, it won't hurt to slip a twenty dollar bill between the pages of the books before you gift the grad.
Did you get a book for graduation that has served you well? Please leave a comment and tell us about it.

Today in the news: Hagel defends record
Quote of note
"America has and must maintain the strongest military in the world; that we must lead the international community to confront threats and challenges together; and that we must use all tools of American power to protect our citizens and our interests. I believe, and always have believed, that America must engage in the world -- not retreat -- but engage in the world. My record is consistent on these points." - Scott Hagel, at confirmation hearing to become President Barack Obama's next defense secretary.
News to know
Syria has threatened to retaliate for an Israeli airstrike, the Associated Press reports. U.S. officials say the airstrike was carried out by Isreali forces inside the Syrian border and was aimed at a convoy believed to be carrying anti-aircraft weapons bound for Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group.
Iran, an ally of Syria, has said that Israel will regret the airstrike. The United Nations is concerned by the aristrike, but is unable to independently verify details of the attack.

June Hits & Misses4:58 PM
Oh man, my life has been so insane since getting back from Cali! The travel and jet lag have been taking a toll on my skin and I've been fighting an on-and-off sore throat that I'm sure I picked up at one of the several airports I stopped by. Eek! I promise I will get to the Cali-heavy blog posting soon but for today, I will be catching up with my favorites video for the month of June. :)
Products mentioned:
Makeup Forever Mat Velvet Foundation in 40
Josie Maran Protect spf 40+ sunblock
JuJu Aquamoist 100% Hyaluronic Acid
Josie Maran bronzer in Beach 1
Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner
CND Tropic Coral (similar here, here, and here)
Makeup Show Brushes
Eucerin Everyday Protection Body Lotion (review here)
I spent a third of this month traveling so I only had a few things with me in my makeup bag. (Now that I think about it, I just remembered I recorded a video on its contents so you will be able to see what I took very soon!) My limited space access really defined a lot of the things that became my favorites this month for both skincare and makeup. I think I might have trouble straying from some of my favorites now because they did me so well with a limited supply of cosmetics at hand!
In any case, I hope that my mostly "hits" this month were enjoyable and helpful if you are interested in these products. I guess it's a good thing if I liked a lot of things versus not, right? ;)
I'd like to know, do you have a separate set of "travel" makeup that you take with you or do you just bring all of your daily makeup wherever you go? Let me know in the comments!

Ahhh, if you love hyaluronic acid, you *MUST* definitely try out HadaLabo's lotion! They're the original trend setter for hyaluronic acid products.ReplyDelete
I find that SaSa has the biggest variety of products for sooo cheap. The Juju essence is only $20 on that site!
It's not really a lotion, more like a thick toner/essence. You pat it on freshly washed skin while it is still damp. It'll leave your skin quite sticky at first, but it'll eventually absorb and become bouncy! ALSO, it won't irritate your skin because there's no alcohol, preservatives, colouring, perfume. Alright, end of rave. :)))
Here's a commercial for the product, watch from 2:03-2:31, so cool LOL.
This has been quite a long comment *-*
The Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner reminds me of the tokidoki Perfetto Eyeliner. Have you ever used the tokidoki ones before? I'd like to know how they compare.ReplyDelete
LOVE the screenshot!! The makeup is so flawless !!ReplyDelete
I might just get the mat velvet foundation... I'm very oily, and if it's something you can do away without putting any powder on... It just might work.ReplyDelete
MUFE Mat Velvet made me break out a little bit. It wasn't red or disgusting, just big juicy ones on my cheeks.ReplyDelete
Jen, what blush are you wearing in your video?? I LOVE it!ReplyDelete

i just bought 2 eyeko liners~ thanks to your review hehe ^^ReplyDelete
The Eyeko graffiti liner looks pretty good. I'll have to keep it in mind for next time :) Your makeup looks really nice too - your skin looks flawless!ReplyDelete
thanks for introducing me to a few new products that i am going to def have to give a try!!!ReplyDelete

Hi Jen! Love the vid, as always. :) In answer to your question, I just bring my regular makeup when traveling. I figured that if I were to maintain a separate set, it'd just be sitting there doing nothing until the next time I travel. But, with luggage restrictions and all, I usually transfer some of my larger makeup items (i.e. foundations) into smaller travel containers. And like you, I've discovered many of my favorites that way. I mean, if such a small collection can still make one look great while on hols, that probably means you don't need that many to start with, right? Hahaha!ReplyDelete
that eyeliner seems amazing, as do those brushes. definitely keeping an eye out for them :)ReplyDelete
to answer the question, i'm not much of a makeup person usually. when i travel, i usually take one neutral eyeshadow quad, an eyeliner, and a couple of brushes. but i do have one space saving tip: get a bunch of contact lens holders (i find the kind that come with optifree work best; cvs brand has really screwy, er, screw-on caps...pardon the pun), and use them to carry your lotions/toner/moisturizer/etc. usually you don't use that much product, especially on short trips, and this way you won't have to worry about the containers passing plane restrictions, or breaking a bottle, and you save a lot of space. skincare is a top priority for me, so this was a lifesaver on away trips.
^Interesting tips, Leslie!:D Was fretting over ways to carry skincare stuff with me for a 4-day trip to New York because that stuff is essential to me and can't skimp on it. I have no good advice to impart to anyone; I fail at minimalism.:\ReplyDelete
i just bring my regular makeup bag when travelling because I'm so lazy to choose which ones i like to bring! lolReplyDelete
Hi Jen!! QUESTION!!! --- How do you use sunblock?? I see that Josie Maran sunblock is in a spray bottle...so do you spray it on AFTER makeup? Or do you put it on after moisturizer and before foundation??ReplyDelete
I also have very sensitive Asian skin and I couldn't figure out how to put sunblock on on my face w/o ruining my makeup or make my face too greasy so I just choose foundation or BB cream with high SPF.
Suggestion?? ^_^
Mechie: The Josie Maran sunblock is actually a pump bottle, not a spray, so you get a small amount in your palm when you pump the bottle once. I just apply that in dots around my face and blend in, as my moisturizer after washing my face. Makeup just goes on like regular after that. :)ReplyDelete

A little tip for Hyaluronic Acid, use it as a serum, so underneath your daycream so the HA doesn't have to pull the moisture from the air but takes up the moisture and other goodies from the cream you're wearing ;)ReplyDelete
Glad that you had so many hits!ReplyDelete
I have been wearing the Make Up Forever HD foundation (#118) since last summer and love it! I do not like to wear a heavy base, so it works well for me! I just looked up on Sephora what shade 140 looks like...and saw that there are over 7,000 reviews for the product!! Wow!! #140 does not look as dark as I expected...but definitely go into Sephora and get someone to color match you without telling them the shade you are doubtful about!
Hi JenReplyDelete
I always ask for samples from the SA's to use for travelling or tranfer my skincare into little containers.

you don't look like you're breaking out at all in the video! Your skin looks amazing, thanks for the review, I love liquid foundation that doesn't require powdering. thanks for introducing the eyeliner too, I totally want it for everyday look. definitely writing this down for my to buy list. looking at the brushes reminds meto wash mine haha. you look gorgeous as usual!ReplyDelete
I am very new to learning make up, but I did create a make up travel bag to take with me. I've created a checklist on my blog. One day, I'll update the list once I learn more about what kind of make up I like. I love that I found this blog for make up tips! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
My travel make-up checklist: http://worldtag.us/2011/04/travel-make-up-what-to-pack/
I always bring my travel brush and whenever I travel, I only bring the important ones...a BB cream, brow powder, loose powder, blush, a lippie and just a few e/s. oh and a gel liner ofcourse...can't live without it hahaha!ReplyDelete
ur so pretty! u have good skin! evem under your make up!ReplyDelete
tzeyien89.blogspot.com xxx
Jen, this is off-topic, but I was wondering if the Lioele brow pencil is long-wearing. (I'm thissss close to picking it up.) Do you need to touch up your brow by the end of the day? Do you think it would withstand a bit of sweating (e.g. if I went for a jog)?ReplyDelete
Hi Jen - I just saw your video on the Urban Decay 15 year anniversary palette and the colors are BEAUTIFUL. I was going to get the Naked palette for myself but now that they've come out with this new palette, I'm not sure which one to get. Which do you suggest? I feel like the new palette may be more versatile; however I also like the neutral shades in the Naked palette. HELP!!!ReplyDelete
BTW I'm a long time follower of yours; please drop by and visit my new blog at www.sweetambitions.blogspot.com where I share my personal experiences in skin care and beauty products!
Hey Jen,ReplyDelete
I just picked up the blush brush from 7Bella. Should be receiving it soon. I dropped your name as the introducer and Chloe was asking for details of your videos etc. Maybe she'll contact you?
If I love this blush brush, I'll get the whole set. I also ordered the Eyeko liner. Gosh Jen, you're guilty of being the devils advocate!! Lol!!!!

Wow, your makeup and outfit is flawless! Makeup tutorial please!!ReplyDelete
Hi Jen, I am wondering if you use hyaluronic acid and estee lauder advance night repair in turn or use one of them at a time. Thank you in advance for your advice :)ReplyDelete
Tiphanie: Nope I haven't tried the Tokidoki liners!ReplyDelete
Sara: I don't remember which blush it was... maybe the bronzer/blush in the Josie Maran palette. :)
BooBooNinja: It seems to be long-wearing on me, but I don't ever have to touch my up brows so it could just be my chemistry!
SweetAmbitions: If you wear 95% neutrals, get the Naked Palette. It's very versatile for neutral-loving ladies! If you do actually wear brighter accents then get the Anniv palette. :)
Silvy: I often switch around all of my serums so I don't use them at the exact same time but yes, I'll use them on rotation.
Just thought you should know that Cherry Culture sells Eyeko eyeliner now.ReplyDelete
♔ Hi Jen, what sunscreen do u use now? could u please please do a updated sunscreen review? please please ♔ReplyDelete
Hey Jen, love your eye makeup! So simple and looks great! Can you do a tutorial??ReplyDelete

Column: When words become your destiny
Say what you will, but you'd best check for recording devices. Alternatively, you might check your thoughts.
The past few days have provided a cornucopia of reprehensible statements, reactions to which tell us as much about our country as the comments do about the speakers. Within those reactions, one finds cause for both concern and consolation.
Concern includes the potential ramifications of cruel or poorly conceived expression. Making racist remarks can do great harm to the public trust and damage hard-won gains toward racial harmony. Consolation can be found in evidence that Americans on the whole have no tolerance for racism or discriminatory behavior.
But there are other layers of concern that at least bear mention: One is the loss of privacy owing to the widespread tendency to record people without their knowledge and the facility with which those utterances or behaviors can become viral.
One could make a case for the net positive of exposing harmful thoughts. On the other hand, one is reminded of the Bob Dylan lyric: "And if my thought-dreams could be seen/They'd probably put my head in a guillotine."
Another source of concern is the tendency to condemn groups of people according to the words or deeds of one or a few. Racial profiling is one such manifestation: If black teens commit burglaries in certain neighborhoods, then all black teens become suspect - and Trayvon Martin dies by a vigilante's bullet.
Indicting all Republicans as racist because of one cowboy's rant is another form of profiling. If one old, white guy thinks blacks were better off on the plantation than they are collecting unemployment insurance, then all old, white guys (a large percentage of whom vote Republican) must be similarly racist.
Finally, we should all be nervous about the instantaneous formation of social media mobs that attack a single individual whose comments, while contemptible, result in a virtual execution. Once the mob descends, no punishment short of absolute destruction seems sufficient. People may want justice but the mob wants blood.
The characters corresponding to the above need no introduction. The old, white guy is Cliven Bundy, the cattle rancher who greeted Bureau of Land Management agents with guns. Fortunately, no shots were fired, but the spectacle gave Bundy, a longtime federal-government denier, an opportunity to espouse his now-familiar views on race.
Next came Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, 80, who urged his mixed-race then-girlfriend not to post online photos of herself with blacks or bring blacks to basketball games. The comments were captured on tape and leaked to TMZ, an online dispenser of human nightmares. Who taped and who leaked haven't yet been established, though gossip and theories abound.
Sterling isn't a likable guy, most are agreed. He has a checkered history as a landlord who allegedly didn't want to rent to Hispanics or African-Americans.
His comments suggest disrespect for his players, who are good enough to make him richer but not to sit in his stands. For those comments, the NBA on Tuesday banned Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million.
The pain his statements caused his players, the African-American community and basketball fans everywhere was enough to warrant calls for him to step down. Never mind his callous disregard for women, including his mistress and especially his wife.
So many morals, so little space.
First the practical: If you don't want your words broadcast in the public square, don't say them. The Orwellian taint to this advice is not meant to be harsh but is offered in recognition of the world in which we live. We're not so much a global village as a small town of gossips.
On a higher note, such potential exposure forces us to more carefully select our words and edit our thoughts. This isn't only a matter of survival but is essential to civilization. Speaking one's mind isn't really all it's cracked up to be, as any well-balanced person reading the comments section quickly concludes.
Ever wonder who those people are?
I have some thoughts but my finely tuned self-editing skills prevent my sharing. Instead, I offer a refrigerator quote I've always liked.
It's often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi but possibly may have tumbled from the lips of a new-age guru. Regardless of the source, it fits the occasion:
"Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny."
Whence our beliefs, it seems, is the crucial challenge.
Alas, bigots by definition are not inclined toward self-awareness.

Since he was very young, Haim Dadi knew what he wanted to do. His parents had a restaurant in Israel and whenever he visited their place – as a child – he loved the hustle and bustle, the aromas, the sounds of the patrons. He is currently Chef/Partner of 18 Restaurant on 81st Street and 2nd Avenue. I've watched and followed him through every area of his restaurant and – as amiable as he is outside the cooking area – it is in the kitchen that he truly comes alive as he cooks, as he talks to his staff, as he experiments with more delicious ways of preparing his fare.
I spoke to Chef Haim recently to find out what makes him tick, what it is that spurs him on. Twenty five years ago he opened his first restaurant in Beersheva with his brother, serving mostly shawarma and a few other grilled items. Three years later, he arrived in New York and opened his first venture in Forest Hills – Tel Aviv Haktanah, though very successful he did not get along with his partner.
He left for a place in Manhattan called Shelanu, which eventually evolved into Mr. Broadway. It started out with a limited Israeli menu, yet considering the demographics in and around its location, it did not work too well. Over a period of seven years they slowly introduced various new types: deli, Chinese, shawarma and sushi. With the addition of all those cuisines Mr. Broadway, soon had one of the largest menus in Manhattan. With very moderate prices and the rich selection they expanded over the years and became a very successful venture, a fixture of the New York kosher Scene.
About a year ago, Chef Dadi was ready for bigger challenges. Together with Sidney Cohen he opened up 18 Restaurant on the premises of what used to be the high end Turquoise. In spite of the high quality of its servings, Turquoise had become a victim of the new recession.
Walking into 18, with its turquoise wall and aquarium, opposite an antiqued stone wall and red fixtures, gives the impression of an upscale expensive place. A quick look, however, at the menu immediately dispels the notion of "expensive." The food served here is of higher quality than at his former place and in the year since they've opened they managed to gather a faithful following that fills the restaurant every day at lunch and dinner. The sushi is superb, and coming from someone who never touched fish until two years ago, someone who never thought he'd ever taste sushi, you can take it as very high praise indeed. I can never resist ordering Chef Haim's Yemenite Meat Soup, or his juicy hamburgers. He doesn't serve exotic dishes, instead he specializes in a wholesome array including Eastern European, Mediterranean, sushi and deli selections. He envisions 18 as a purveyor of high quality food at reasonable prices and… the concept works!
As a young child, Haim Dadi had a dream; as a man, he's made the dream concrete!

Teddy Roosevelt had two chances to take his first presidents race victory Saturday at Nationals Park, as the Nationals and Yankees took their contest past the 13th inning, triggering a rare second presidents race.
Roosevelt threw caution to the wind Saturday, risking disqualification by entering the field aboard a motorcycle.
The Bull Moose had speed on his side, but was done in by the details. Teddy started the race by going the wrong way, and by the time he realized and turned around, he was far behind the field.
With a sellout crowd of 41,287 cheering him on, Teddy almost caught up to the pack, but Abe Lincoln took the tape, and Roosevelt skidded out, falling off the bike at the finish line.
The arrival of the thirteenth inning triggered just the tenth doubleheader in presidents race history, and this time, Teddy was sure to get the directions straight.
In fact, Roosevelt was so confident, he rode the motorcycle blindfolded.
With the finish line moved to the 3rd base side for the second race, Teddy got off to a quick start and took a huge lead.
Nationals Park PA Announcer Jerome Hruska got the crowd cheering as #26 pulled away from the pack, but just as it seemed victory was at hand, Teddy started slowing down and came to a stop just short of the tape.
He had forgotten to fill up between races, and ran out of gas.
Teddy could have walked across the finish line, but tried getting the motorcycle going, and once again, Abe Lincoln was there to steal the victory.

Pregnant mom who drove kids into ocean faces attempted murder
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A pregnant South Carolina woman who drove a minivan carrying her three young children into the ocean surf off Florida faces attempted murder and other charges Friday, with authorities saying the children were screaming to bystanders that she was trying to kill them.
Bystanders and officers helped rescue 32-year-old Ebony Wilkerson and her children, ages 3, 9 and 10, from their minivan as it was almost submerged on Tuesday on Daytona Beach.
Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson said Wilkerson has denied trying to hurt her children. However, the children told investigators otherwise and witnesses said she tried to keep them from rescuing them. The windows were rolled up and the doors were locked, and one of the children tried to wrestle the steering wheel away from her, Johnson said.
"She told them to close their eyes and go to sleep. She was trying to take them to a better place," Johnson said.
One of the children lowered the windows and the siblings yelled for help, attracting the bystanders, a sheriff's office report said. Wilkerson told them "everyone was OK" but the children screamed that their mother was trying to kill them. As water rushed into the minivan, Wilkerson left the vehicle with her children inside, the report said.
Wilkerson was placed in custody of the sheriff's office Friday after she had been hospitalized for a mental evaluation since Tuesday. Her children were with the Department of Children and Families. Wilkerson faces three counts each of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse, Johnson said.
"You're supposed to protect your children at all costs," Johnson said at a news conference. "You're not supposed to try to kill your children."
Hours before driving into the ocean, Wilkerson's sister worriedly called police, saying her had talked about demons when she left her sister's house in Daytona Beach, a police report said. Her sister worriedly called Daytona Beach police.
After the call to dispatch, police officers stopped Wilkerson's black Honda Odyssey and she expressed fear that her husband would be coming to Florida to harm her and her children.
The children were sitting quietly, smiling, and showed no signs of distress, the police report said.
"It was clear during my conversation that Wilkerson was suffering from some form of mental illness, but she was lucid and did not provide any signs that she met Baker Act requirements," the Daytona Beach police officer said in the report.
The Florida Mental Health Act, commonly known as the Baker Act, allows authorities to involuntarily take people into custody if they seem to be a threat to themselves.
Family members told investigators that Wilkerson was in an abusive relationship and that she had come to Florida to get away from her husband, according to the sheriff's office report.

The basic purpose of a CMA Chapter is to support the National CMA effort of "sharing and showing the love of Jesus Christ to motorcyclists," and supporting this ministry through regular financial support to National. In this, there is a three-fold purpose:
As a member of this ministry each member will agree to live and act under biblical principles of conduct. These principles should be effective in your daily life, but must be followed whenever a member is wearing the CMA back patch. Many scriptures can be presented to support a godly lifestyle, but use the following scripture passages as an overview: Titus 3:1-11; Gal. 5:13; Matt. 18:15-19; 1 Cor. 6; James 4:1-10.
Each chapter works under the leadership of their State Coordinator and Area Reps to further the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Season's readings for ages 1-to-16 and up
Source: http://www.oneminutebookreviews.wordpress.com
New books don't always make the best gifts for children and teenagers. These suggestions include 2007 books and classics that young readers have enjoyed for years or generations
By Janice Harayda
Ages 1–2
Nobody does board books better than Helen Oxenbury, who has twice won the Kate Greenaway Medal, Britain's equivalent of the Caldecott. Oxenbury's great gift is her ability to create faces that are simple yet expressive and never dull or cloying, which is just what young children need. You see her skill clearly in her engaging series of board books about babies at play, which includes Clap Hands, All Fall Down, Say Goodnight and Tickle, Tickle. (Simon & Schuster, about $6.99 each) www.simonsayskids.com. Any infant or toddler would be lucky to have one of these as a first book.
Ages 3–5
Children's poet Jack Prelutsky pays homage to Lewis Carroll's "The Crocodile" in Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant: And Other Poems (HarperCollins/Greenwillow, 32 pp., $16.99, 3 and up) www.jackprelutsky.com, a collection of brief rhyming poems about imaginary animals. But this picture book stands on its own with amusing poems about fanciful creatures such as an "umbrellaphant" (an elephant with an umbrella for a trunk) and sparkling illustrations by Carin Berger.
Ages 6–8
Elizabeth Matthews makes a stylish debut in Different Like Coco (Candlewick, 40 pp., $16.99, ages 6–8) www.candlewick.com, a witty and spirited picture-book biography of Coco Chanel. Matthews focuses on the early years of the designer who learned to sew at a convent school, then revolutionized 20th century fashion with clothes that reflected and fostered the emancipation of women. The result makes clear that Chanel owed her success not just to hard work but to boldness and staying true to herself and her artistic vision.
Ages 9–12
Brian Selznick has had one of the year's biggest hits for tweens of both sexes in The Invention of Hugo Cabret: A Novel in Words and Pictures (Scholastic, 533 pp., $22.99) www.scholastic.com, a cross between a picture book and a chapter book. Selznick's novel involves a 12-year-old orphan and thief who lives in a Paris train station and, in the days of silent movies, tries to complete work on a mechanical man started by his father. The beautiful packaging of this book helps to offset the so-so writing and unresolved moral issues it raises (including that Hugo rationalizes his thievery and mostly gets away with it) www.theinventionofhugocabret.com.
Ages 13-15
Three-time Caldecott Medal winner David Wiesner says in The Art of Reading (Dutton, $19.99) that as teenager he was captivated by Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey (Roc, $7.99, paperback) us.penguingroup.com. And that modern classic might still delight a teenager who likes science fiction (with or without a companion gift of the Stanley Kubrick's great movie version). Or consider Mindy Schneider's Not a Happy Camper (Grove, $24) www.not-a-happy-camper.com, an adult book being cross-marketed to teens. Schneider remembers her eight weeks at an off-the-wall kosher summer camp at the age of 13 in this light and lively memoir. (Sample experience: A bunkhouse burned down when a group of boys put candles under their beds to see if they could warm them up by nightfall.) This book is about wanting to fit in and never quite achieving it — in others, about the essence of being a teenager.
Ages 16 and up
Finally, a book for the college-bound, especially for the sort of high school student who might like to join a sorority or other all-female group: Marjorie Hart's charming Summer at Tiffany (Morrow, $14.94) www.harpercollins.com, a book for adults that many teenagers might also enjoy. In this warm and upbeat memoir, Hart looks back on the summer of 1945, when she and a sorority sister at the University of Iowa became the first female pages at Tiffany's, the Fifth Avenue jewelry store. They arrived just in time to watch the city erupt with joy when the Japanese surrender ended World War II and to have a much larger experience than they had expected. Hart's account of all of it has none of the cynicism that infects so many books for teenagers, and that's partly what makes it so refreshing.
Reviews of books for children or teenagers appear every Saturday on One-Minute Book Reviews. You can read others by clicking on the "Children's Books" and "Young Adult" categories under the "Top Posts" list at right.

Today's Music: ABBA – Dancing Queen
Note On Today's Music: She actually asked for B-52s. I have no idea why I heard her say "ABBA".
…because I'm the guest blogger over at Cheeky Diva's!
Actually, I wandered in over there because I saw her old gravatar and thought she was serving pie.
She let me know it was guest-blogger-sign-up-day.
I was too embarrassed to leave.
Anyway, head over, check it out if you like, get a totally made up history lesson, and mosey through the rest of her site.
It's a fun stop in the 'sphere.
(I'll be back Friday with the foolishness.)
(If I can think up responses to all the Pope jokes.)
(Seriously, a Rome poll? Now???)

A Situationist Critique of Legal Theory – Abstract
Posted by The Situationist Staff on October 2, 2008
Situationist contributor David Yosifon has recently posted his excellent article, "Legal Theoretic Inadequacy and Obesity Epidemic Analysis" (forthcoming 15 George Mason Law Review (2008)) on SSRN. Here's the abstract.
* * *
This Article explores crucial analytic and normative limitations in presently dominant and ascendant approaches to legal theory. The approaches' failure to provide a satisfying framework for analyzing the obesity epidemic presently raging undeterred in American society reveals these limitations. Conventional law and economics scholars writing on the subject have deployed familiar frameworks to reach predictable conclusions that are neither intellectually nor morally justifiable. This Article argues that recent theoretical innovations promulgated within the burgeoning law and behavioralism movement have thus far provided no more reliable a framework for legal analysis of the obesity epidemic than has conventional law and economics. This Article critiques in particular the behavioral law and economics concepts of "libertarian paternalism" and "asymmetric paternalism," as well as the concept of "expressive overdeterminism," recently developed by proponents of "cultural cognition theory." This project is undertaken as part of a broader effort to develop an alternative approach to legal theory that previous co-authors and I call "critical realism." The theoretical arguments herein are broad, but this Article aims to also advance obesity epidemic analysis in particular. Part V briefly discusses specific public policy implications of my assessment, with special reference to a policy innovation based in the reform of corporate law.

Today's Music: The Beatles – Nowhere Man
Well, those wacky Trifectans have gotten even wackier!
This week, instead of giving us the third definition of a word, they've given us a buffet! Buffet, sadly, does not fall within the alphabetical range of Bab to Bac. But what does?
Why, the 99th page of the Oxford English dictionary!
And to be even wackier, this time they want exactly 99 words!
So even though I'm rarely mentioned for the challenge, I do want to assert myself as wackiest.
so here you go, and enjoy! (And while i've used several words in the piece, I did (in an even wackierest twist) actually try and use one correcly!)
Titleless(What? I used all 99 words in the story.)
"I got nothin'"
"What does that mean? You've got a whole dictionary page to work with. A whole page!"
"Did you even look at it?" came the rejoinder. "How the hell do I make 'Babylon' mean London? And 'back' is so amorphous it don't mean fiddlesticks!"
The first poured himself a Bacardi. The second pulled out a steel shaft, toying with the bacilliform. "Who's this?" he asked of the armored man under the 'Merriam-Webster-Trifecta' banner.
"He's my bachelor".
"Woah! I didn't know you even went that way."
The first man rolled his eyes. "Did you even read the dictionary?
*Note on today's post: There's a much longer version of this which has all the words on the Oxford page, but it was way over 99 so I couldn't use it. You're welcome.

It's been one year since I quit writing.
When I posted about this, it was heart-breaking.
I cried.
I regretted sharing my decision.
Then I realized how much I needed to post it. To feel it. To publicly admit it.
Here's the thing. The biggie. I've "quit" writing before but I've never really quit.
I've had a meltdown over a story or a freak-out about my computer crashing (save your work!) or stopped writing out of frustration because I'd been interrupted for the fifteenth time. I've had writer's block, run short on time, gotten sick, had self-doubt… You name it.
I've thrown my hands up and shouted, "I quit!"
Those are probably relatable to most writers. There is always something trying to block your way, drain your energy, waste your time, or stifle your creativity.
But when I wrote that post, I well and truly quit.
When I published that post, something inside me shifted.
This wasn't a writer's temper tantrum. This was me letting go of my dream. I waited two whole agonizing months to return.
Though, in the grand scheme of things, this wasn't a long time, it felt like forever.
I thought about losing the creative outlet I'd been using since I was nine years old. I thought about flash and writing prompts and how much I'd miss those. But, honestly, what I thought about most was the fact that the characters in my novels would never finish telling me their stories. I thought about the fact that I would never write another word about these people.
I cried. Again.
Truth is, I was in a bad spot and thought quitting writing would take some pressure off. I thought it would give me more time and energy to deal with the crap. What I found was, by taking writing away, I was less able to deal with things.
You know what? I am overwhelmed. I do have a lot going on. There are shitty things happening.
There were a year ago and there still are today.
I did need a break, but not from writing.
I thought my life demanded I let go of my dream. I thought I had to kill a piece of myself, to make room for a new piece—one that could deal with all of the drama, chaos, and responsibilities. But it broke my spirit when I quit.
Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved putting pencil to paper and creating stories. I've always known writing is part of me. It's not that I discovered this last year, it's that I got a reality slap. A reminder that I need writing. Not just that I love it—I need it.
I had to feel this, really feel this loss, to fully appreciate how much I needed it.
I am a writer. It's what I do. It's who I am.
The fact that I quit writing played a big part in the publishing of Hinting at Shadows. One year ago I stopped writing and, almost exactly one year later, I am a newly published author. Of a book that I love. One that I'm proud of. One that shows we never know what the future holds. One that proves we cannot bury our dreams.
Have you ever given up, quit, or let go of something you loved? Did this hurt or help you? Or both? Did you ever return to what you left?
